This is old but it totally shows Michael's personality while singing his favorite song.

Mount of Temptation 2/9/14
Although no one really know for sure this is the site said to be where Jesus was tempted by the Devil in Matthew chapter 4.
8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
There is a Greek Orthodox monastery built on the side of the mountain.
We took the cable cars up the mountain and then walked the rest of the way up to the monastery doors.
Tristan got to hold the key to the monastery that unlocked the door and let us in.
The chapel was built around this stone "where Jesus sat when he fasted and was tempted"
People cross themselves and then kneel before it and touch their foreheads to it and kiss the stone.
Jericho 2/9/14
Joshua 6:20
......the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
They weren't kidding the walls came tumbling down and there wasn't much left to look at of the old city.
Baptismal Site Sneak Peek 2/9/14
We decided to check out the Baptismal Site while we were in the neighborhood. So here is a sneak peek of what the place will look like when Olivia is baptized in May.
We even saw a white dove, at least I think it was a dove.
Destroyer Battleship Tour 1/19/14
The USS Stout was in Haifa and Chris took Olivia and Jonathan to do a tour. It is a guided missile destroyer.
Olivia and Jonathan in the Captain's chair.
The Navy crew were very kind and told them all the information that they wanted to know, and let them explore all around.
The kids had a lot of fun pretending to shoot the guns.
